So you were stabbed hard in the back and your heart is still bleeding. He walked out on you when you needed him the most. Your friend(s) deserted you. You were abandoned by your parents at an early age. The list goes on. Your mother told you it was a mistake to have given birth to you. You were fired from your job unjustly and now all you want to do is get back at the lady or man who landed you in trouble. Life can be unfair. Things happen. The enemy of our soul gives us all good reasons to hate people. Sometimes, we are filled with a burning rage to get back at all those who have hurt us. I have been there before. We have all been there.
I’m sorry you had to go through whatever it was that rocked
your world. However, today I’ll say, FORGIVE. Can you do yourself that favor? Simply
FORGIVE. What does the word forgive mean? It means to grant pardon for or
remission of an offence, debt, etc. It means to cease to feel resentment
against someone.Let go of all the bitterness, rage, grudges and malice. When
you choose to walk in unforgiveness, you are really imprisoning yourself. Does
the phrase LET GO AND LET GOD sound familiar?
I can sense you are having a real fight with yourself over this. You
really don’t want to forgive that person. You want to retaliate. You are
waiting for the perfect moment to strike back. Drop it. Let the love of God flow
freely into you. It’s okay to ask for divine grace. I do that when I can’t
handle some negative feelings I have. Another
reason you must forgive is because when you don’t forgive people for whatever
wrong they have done to you, God doesn’t forgive you either. ( I smell real
trouble here). What’s the consequence of that? Your prayer becomes hindered.
God doesn’t hear you when you pray. You shut the door of your blessings, and above all, you become susceptible to the
attacks of the enemy. The package comes with sicknesses, diseases, frustration,
poverty, retrogression. The list is endless. So, you see you really do yourself
a favor by forgiving.
If you have read this piece of writing, and you have made up
your mind to really forgive whoever hurt you and you really want to let go, I
say kudos to you! Job well done! Go
ahead and give yourself a hug ( I tried it recently and it works like magic). Lastly, love like you have never been hurt before. Love makes the world go round.
See ya!!!!
